Top 10 Heavyweight H2H List of All Time

I'd have prime Dempsey over Vitali.

 

What?
Vitaly is one of the best H2H at HW. His awkward unorthodox style would be a nightmare for most heavyweights.
He has some bad matchups, but people like holyfield or Tyson see him in their noghtmeres.

 

good list

 

Lewis
Vit
Ali
Norton
Holyfield
Tyson
Usyk
Bowe
Louis
Holmes

that’s as tight as it gets.

 

I think it's a good list.

I think Lewis is probably at the top, but I also I think he would be confused by Usyk's movement as well. He's got the size and skills to give everyone in history loads of issues, but he is vulnerable due to his chin.

I think some people will disagree with me on this, but I think Usyk would beat Ali H2H. Usyk is just technically better and his defense is a lot better. Ali is too reckless with his defense and he keeps his hands down too much. He got hurt/rocked/knocked down so many times in his career and I think Usyk catches him and stops him.

I think Holyfield would give Usyk a good competitive fight due to his skills and toughness.

Tyson would give Usyk some trouble early on, but if Tyson can't knock Usyk out early and I don't think he can, he'd get frustrated later in the fight and lose.

 

Lennox-Usyk would have been a great intriguing fight.

Lennox has never seen a southpaw like that, but then Usyk has never fought anyone as big as Lennox, with that level of skill, power and inside game.

Ali could have beaten Usyk to the punch. And overall he had a great defence. Yes, he was sometimes caught, but only by guys who could get really close to him on the inside. Smaller, faster fighters. Just because his defence was unorthodox based upon his athleticism, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t great. He was much harder to hit clean than Usyk.

Usyk hasn’t got the attributes to have starved off Mike’s attacks. Mike would have suffocated him on the inside. Mike didn’t need to knock him out to win. And he had the stamina to fight a fast paced fight until the distance.

 

Dude.. how can you completely left out Foreman?

 

Wladimir Klitschko is a stiff no competition midget pusher and chinned twice not H2H top 10

Joe Louis way too small to be H2H top 10, Nobody pre 60's can be in this list. Hard truth.

 

1. Ali
2. Holmes
3. Lewis
4. Usyk
5. Holyfield
6. Foreman
7. Vitali
8. Liston
9. W. Klitschko
10. Louis

 

I think we're missing Tyson Fury here.

I don't care if he lost to Usyk twice, he's still a big, fast skilled fighter who would give anyone in history problems.

 

He struggled too many times while having a thin resume to boot. He doesn't make the list

 

He's got more to prove. Let's see him beat Joshua once or twice, and we'll talk.

I think the list is a very good one, except that Big George out to be on there. He can bump Vitkilt, who does not have a really huge win, but Bowe, who has the big win but mostly took soft touches otherwise.

Liston was mentioned, and that is just a hard no for me. His four signature wins were all against guys under 20--Patterson, Patterson, Foley and Machen. There's just no evidence that he is going to go in there and compete with Lennox or Usyk.
